Ford Mustang Mach E Rally unveiled

Ford has unveiled its newest addition: an electric Mustang Mach-E tailored for rallying. Leveraging the Mach-E crossover's foundation, the Mach-E Rally undergoes significant design enhancements, increased power, and improved off-road performance.

The Mach-E Rally is equipped with an upgraded version of the Mach-E GT's dual-motor system. Designed with rallycross in mind, it boasts a custom-built four-wheel-drive setup. Preliminary data suggests the Mach-E Rally will generate a remarkable 486 horsepower and an astonishing 879Nm of torque. As a result, it can accelerate from 0 to 100kph in just 4 seconds. Additionally, it features an "intelligent" Rally Sport driving mode, optimizing throttle response for precise acceleration control and enhancing traction on slippery surfaces. This mode also adjusts traction and stability control systems to allow for more extensive drifts.

Design of Ford Mustang Mach-E Rally

The Mach-E Rally stands 20mm taller than the standard Mach-E, thanks to specially tuned springs and Magenride shocks, enhancing its off-road capabilities. It rides on Michelin CrossClimate tires mounted on striking gloss white 19-inch rally wheels. Beneath the surface, substantial underbody shielding ensures the 91kWh battery and electric motors remain well-protected from rocks and rough terrain. Ford has also applied a protective coating to the body cladding to minimize the risk of chips.

Adding to its versatility, the Mach-E Rally incorporates a front bumper-integrated tow hook for those adventurous off-road moments. Ford drew inspiration from the legendary Ford Focus RS hot-hatch for the Mach-E Rally's design, notably the rear spoiler. It boasts distinctive features, including contrasting body trim, a robust front splitter, a sleek black roof panel, rally-style fog lights, and eye-catching racing stripes.

Interior of Ford Mustang Mach-E Rally

The inside of the Mach-E GT has a few subtle modifications, including unique features like white highlights all around the cabin to match the wheels. Along with a 15.5-inch touchscreen entertainment system that is comparable to other Mach-E models, the Mach-E Rally also features exclusive badging and sports seats. The panoramic sunroof available in other high-end Mach-E variants is absent from the Rally.
